Be ie knownthat I. HARRY F. iliegn, e. citizen of the United States,resiiling et Columbus, in the county of Frankiin and Siate of Ohio, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Fuse-Boxes, of

bien the following is a specification. 5

The object principally oi this invention generally is to provideimproved means whereby electric fuses2 especially those for liigiitension currents, can be examined, benl died and replaced with greater.safety than heretofore.

vThe perticular advantage of the improved means will more folly appearfrom tile foilowing description :ml claim.
